That looks bloody gorgeous chap.

Looking absolutely fantastic, buddy! Khorne is pleased!

 

I agree with gaurdian31 that the eyes should be blue -- in fact, I'd also consider adding some blue glow to those small slits on both sides of the breastplate. I've done something similar on my Maulerfiend (the sculpt shares the same slits on approximately the same place), and it really adds some pop to the model without being overwhelming.

 

Anyway, gorgeous stuff! With the big guy out of the way, when can we expect those final tweaks on the Soulgrinder and Bloodthirster (yeah, I know I'm a bastard ;) ) ?

[SalvationOfReason]

Concur w/the eyes.

@Kraut - think he does have those slits colored in, mostly visible in the 5th picture. Still a good call though!

 

Mr. b'Raas, really like the deep red you're using, instead of a brighter color scheme. Really helps it match with the more subdued metallics, and let's the brighter blue glows 'pop' rather nicely.

The 2-plate groin area is a great accident. I think it looks better than the standard configurement. .

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks, guys! About the blue eyes and slits:

But... but... he has blue eyes. And the slits are blue too! It's just such a huge model I can't make proper macro shots with my camera in my light box. So some details might be obscured....

I also think the eyes could use some blue.


Also, here I am in the woods, and I have yet to see Nurgle pooping.

Ahhhhh I was wondering when you'd show up, demanding pictures of Captain Eight Legs and his chicken legged lieutenant. ;) 

 

Unfrotunately these guys individually are WAY too big to get proper shots of in my light box, so I took them outside... Here they are:

Enjoy!

[Soldier of Dorn]

Very nice buddy! Your red has improved quite a lot since Eight Legs. in my opinion. I like the new guy a lot.

Thanks buddy! Yeah I agree, the red has matured quite a bit. Before, I couldn't get the pink tone out. It's why I'm still considering repainting the LoS....

 

Meanwhile, I've already started on the Typhon. This is it last night (with celebratory beers after finishing the Kytan).

And this it the Typhon after a spray with the new GW Leadblecher spray can. NO brush or airbrush has touched this tank...

I have a feeling my iron Warriors will take even less time than the Imperial Fists I did this year...

@ Auggs: Aw, sorry, mate: My bad about the blue! To be perfectly honest, I already had a sneaking suspicion that the problem might lie with the photos and nt with the actual model -- still, better safe than sorry!

 

That comparison picture is just amazing! I sooo want to steal those models from your house!

 

Regarding the tank, huh, boxy Space Marine tank is boxy. But to each their own, of course. Just wake me up when the next, non-tank model comes along!

[gaurdian31]

Ah, those eyes look great!

[Isengrin]

The new red looks awesome, it's really vibrant. Even though king crab ain't bad at all, I like the Kytan better. Are you going to add OSL effects to the eyes and slits?

[Teetengee]

Yeah, at a distance I think the brighter osl on 8 legs is better, but close up I couldn't say.

Also TYPHON TYPHON TYPHON!!!!! (I like big guns.......)

[Kierdale]

Outstanding work (even if it is Khornate ;) ).

And that gold is Vallejo's Liquid Old Gold?

Next time I'm over in Akihabara (where I know there's a shop stocking Vallejo) I'll have to pick some up!

[depthcharge12]

Wow that crab dude is awesome!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks, gang. :)

@ guardian31: Cheers, buddy!

 

@ Isengrin: Thanks, bro. I'm not going to do OSL effects on the Kytan. I'm thoroughly cured of the fake OSL airbrushing yields. 

 

@ Teetengee: TYPHOOOOOOOOON! Also, today I put the Spartan together. :)

 

@ Kierdale: Yes, the gold is Vallejo Liquid Old Gold, with a Agrax Earthshade Gloss wash and a 1:1 leadbelcher: Liberator Gold edge highlight.

 

@ depthcharge12: If you like the Khornate Crab so much, check him out here.  Sorry for the crappy pics beforehand. ;)

Well, two can play at that game, buddy! ;)

 

But seriously, you go paint your tanks, and in the meantime, I can just look forward to whatever's next. Unlike it's, you know, just more tanks... o_O

Touché, buddy. ;) In all seriousness: I have bad news, semi-good, and good news for you. The bad news is that after the Typhon, I still have a Spartan to paint in my ETL vow. The semi-good news is that it'll be painted khornate. The good news is I have TONS of Khornate daemons and Marines planned. I even bought a set of Blood Warriors for parts. :D

[Mechanist]

Together those daemon engines look amazing, looking forward to all the new stuff. 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks, mechanist!

 

Alright, update time. I did a lot of work on the Typhon yesterday. 

 

Did all the chevrons, shaded the Leadbelcher by mixing in VMA (Gloss) Black, and did the black parts. Mainly the track coverings.

I also finished the doors using two of the rhino door transfers from the FW Iron Warriors sheet. They were basecoated black, then fitted with the transfer, after which I airnrushed the edges. I then gave it a gloss varnish, followed by a satin farnish. I love the faded look of the result!

Hope you like, and as always: feedback welcome, guys and galls :tu:

[Dragonlover]

For a second I thought you'd freehanded those doors, and was about to swear vociferously. Any chance of a dry fit pic with the doors on?

 

Dragonlover

[Mechanist]

that faded affect is ace, nicely done. 

[hushrong]

The daemon engines, wow!

 

Seeing you take on Iron Warriors, AWESOME!

 

I love how good you apply the transfers on your minis.

[Midnightmare]

Dude every time I meander to your thread my jaw drops!! Awesome work on the Kytan, and the Typhon is shaping up nicely. The transfer idea is glorious :tu: you are a hobby monster. MONSTER!!

 

Still...... *cough* Khorne Spartan *cough* :D

[anselneo]

Nice looking daemon engine

[Rob_Loken]

Those doors look brilliant.
